Everyone says they are. I recently got FreeBSD running, at least to the prompt. I have the Complete FreeBSD, and a bunch of stuff off the website. There is an area "for people new to FreeBSD and Unix", which cleared up a few mysteries. Roaming around the FreeBSD.org pages for a few weeks will, too. I have no Unix background whatsoever and frankly, it's a bit like buying a book and sitting down to learn French, not ever having heard any of it spoken, but, hey, if it was easy... C'est la vie!
